The Contemporary Art and the Moving Image MA is a collaborative master's degree offered jointly by King’s College London and the Courtauld Institute of Art. This innovative course explores the past and present of visual culture and the moving image in art. As film, video, and digital media continue to influence and shape contemporary art, you’ll engage with this evolving discipline through perspectives provided by art history, film and media studies, exhibitions and curatorial practice, among other fields. You’ll cover artists' moving image practices, experimental cinema, contemporary cinema and digital art, and examine these through various disciplinary and geographical lenses. You’ll also benefit from our prime location in the heart of London, placing you within easy reach of key cultural institutions such as BFI Southbank (and the BFI Library), Tate Britain, Tate Modern, the Institute of Contemporary Art, and the Hayward Gallery.
